When something bad happens you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you or you can let it strengthen you.

A flower bloomed once
It died not long after
Its beautiful color
Began to fade away

In the moments it lived
Water dripped upon it
Shining intriguingly
Dripping hopelessly

It shined with the sun
Brought happiness to only one
Although it died with no one
Grievously fading and withering away

Its color bleed upon the ground
No longer loved by that someone
Dying alone with no happy memories
Lifelessly it laid, clutching on to life no more

It was left alone to die
Although no one would cry, but no one knew
Sadly no one would have cared
Leaving it with pain left un-shared

This is a poem of the deepest meaning. Only few many actually figure out what it is about.
